Lost option to re-fly missions after patch 1.0.1

[andyfoot]

Since I patched the game, when I play the Campaign missions I now only get one chance to play a mission. Regardless of whether I die, complete at 100% or at 0%. This is with the Georgian Oil War, and the Chapter 2 missions. I've tried restarting the Georgian Oil War Campaign, but I still only get one play.

This is really annoying as I rarely get a satisfactory result after one attempt (yes I'm that bad, or I'm a perfectionist). It is even more annoying when I get my wingman to Attack My Target, so he hovers over a Vulcan or some other AA whilst he lines up for his attack, this would usually result in his untimely demise, and I would restart a mission.

I did initially have some error codes coming up, but found it was my local settings for the "Advanced" Tab with Language for non-Unicode programs. I changed it to UK settings, and re-applied the patch (over the previous patch). This solved the error messages, but hasn't solved the "one shot missions"

I use Win XP, 32bit and I haven't modded the game. I have both English and Russian download versions, I uninstalled the Russian version and play the English version. I am in the UK and my local and format settings are UK.

Have now tried a fresh install after uninstalling. Applied the patch without starting BS. I still have the same problem, I can start a mission, exit without even taking off and 0% complete, but I cannot then refly the mission.

Hi andyfoot,

I'm having a similar problem with Patch 1.01. BS is running under Vista 32 in a computer that meets the operating system requirements. After adding the patch BS occasionally won't allow a replay of a single mission. Once I play it, I have to exit BS and restart it. And, then it still may not allow a second play of the same mission without rebooting.

Also, occasionally a mission loads to the starting cockpit view, but once it's unpaused the cursor and sometimes the American/English keyboard become nonfunctional.

Anyone have a fix for this?

As followup to the inability to replay a mission after installing Patch 1.01, I've found that clearing the system cache seems to resolve the issue under Vista 32. XP has similar caching quirks so clearing it may help. Also, running a system optimizer like CCleaner will help prevent the occasional BS glitch.
